To solve this problem, CREDA is running a scheme to fill the pond with anicuts.
In this regard, CREDA Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Rajesh Singh Rana inspected a progressing project of filling the pond through Anicut in village Mudhena located in Mahasamund development block of Mahasamund district and took information about the ongoing work.
Under the project, the work of installing two solar pumps of 10 HP capacity at a site in Mudhena Anicut and supplying water to a pond in the village through a pipeline is in progress.
Keeping in mind the future of the project, Rana directed that arrangements should be made to fill water in other 2-3 ponds of the village with the solar pumps installed for such projects. Also, when there is no need to fill water in the pond from the anicut, then the electricity generated from the solar panels installed for the operation of the solar pump should be supplied to the nearby grid.
This generated electricity should be used for employment and livelihood activities like fishing, flour mill, thresher machine operation etc.
He directed the officials of CREDA to take necessary action in this regard and to carry out all the work under the project in quality manner.
Also, instructions were given to the representatives of the unit to ensure that the project work is completed soon.
